Yeah, I was also very confused by that. The article made it sound as if the WYSIWYG explanation was a quote from Apple's guidelines, or maybe from XEROX, so I wondered whether I misunderstood WYSIWYG this whole time. Searched, and nope, that whole box is by the article author, not a quote. The author doesn't know what WYSIWYG is and wrote some projected explanation. Very likely he didn't go through the WYSIWYG era; it was a big deal, and wouldn't be that easily misinterpreted.
